HOW TO CONDUCT MOTIVATING AND LEGALLY SOUND PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS    

Research shows that more than half of the professional and clerical employees working today do not understand how their work is evaluated. And studies have long recognized the role of insufficient performance feedback as a primary cause of poor performance.
 

Evaluating employees' performance is an important leadership function. Yet, a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that less than 10% of managers believe job performance reviews are effective.

Managers and supervisors must clearly understand the performance appraisal process so that they can convey expectations, effectively provide employees with feedback for improvement, encourage trusting and respectful relationships, and safeguard the company and its employees from legal liability.

Now there is a way to get your managers to improve their performance appraisal skills. It's called: How To Conduct Motivating And Legally Sound Performance Appraisals. This 45-minute, CD-based training program is perfect for training your busy managers who can't spare the time to take a traditional training class.

 This CD training program will give your managers the skills and confidence they need by covering:

• The importance of effective performance appraisals
• Key components of ongoing performance management
• How to establish clear, goal-oriented expectations
• How to provide ongoing feedback through coaching and counseling
• What to document, how to properly write it, where to keep it
• How to avoid common evaluation traps
• How to conduct an appraisal session that will maximize the impact of the reviews
• How to properly handle employees' emotional reactions 

 With AHI's ALL-OR-ONE Training CD, you can train all of your managers together, or let them take the course indvidually. 

1. Conduct group training by letting your group watch the training program on a computer screen or projected onto a wall.  Stop the presentation to discuss points you want to emphasize or let it play continuously. Reduces your prep time to almost nothing!

2. Individual managers and supervisors can take the course on their own.  Great for training those with schedules that don’t lend themselves to group training situations. Once one manager finishes with the CD, he/she simply passes it on to the next.

 The training CD gives you everything you need in order to train your managers on critical discipline strategies, including:

• Participant's Guide — Managers who complete the course can use this as a content refresher whenever they need to.
  
• Discussion Guide — This brief guide is designed to save you time when conducting a group session.  It alerts you to sections of the program where you can increase participation and even provides some follow-up questions you can use.
  
• Documents, Forms, Certificates of Completion — Saves you time when setting up a group training session with an invitation memo, attendance list, and proof of attendance form.  Plus, you can give the Certificate of Completion to managers who either attended a group class or used the CD to complete the training on their own.
